The sensor areas 411 may be a transparent area, and mayallow light received from the outside of the electronic device 400 topass therethrough to the sensor 430. A “transparent area” shall beunderstood to also include a hole or other void. In some embodiments,the sensor areas 411 may be formed as recesses or openings. The pixelarea 413 may be a remaining area of the screen display area, and maydisplay various contents (e.g., text, image, video, icons, or symbols).The pixel area 413 may surround the one or more screen areas 411. Thepixel area 413 may include at least one of one or more pixels (notillustrated) configured to display colors and drive wiring lines 513configured to drive the pixels.

Through this, in certain embodiments, it ispossible to ensure at least one of transmittance and transparency of thesensor area 411 in the display 410. Since the drive wiring lines 513 aredensely wired in the peripheral area 514 of the sensor area 411, thedrive wiring lines 513 may be transmitted so as to be visible outsidethe electronic device 400 in the peripheral area 514 of the sensor area411.

The display 410 may include an opaque member 515. The opaque member 515may be disposed in the peripheral area 514 of the sensor area 411 in thepixel area 413, as illustrated in FIG. 5B. The opaque member 515 mayblock at least a part of the peripheral area 514 of the sensor area 411in the pixel area 413. Through this, the opaque member 415 may lower thetransmittance of the peripheral area 514 of the sensor area 411 in thepixel area 413. For example, the opaque member 515 may be formed in acircular or polygonal annular shape.

The displaypanel 620 may include a sensor area 621 (e.g., the sensor area 411 inFIG. 4) and a pixel area 623 (e.g., the pixel area 413 in FIG. 4). Thesensor area 621 and the pixel area 623 may be distinguished from eachother on a plane perpendicular to the axis X. The sensor area 621 may bedisposed on the display panel 620 to correspond to the sensor 601 alongthe axis X. For this purpose, the sensor area 621 may be disposed tocorrespond to the opening in the support member 610 along the axis X.For example, the size of the sensor area 621 may correspond to the sizeof the opening in the support member 610. Here, at least one of the sizeof the sensor area 621 and the size of the opening may be defined on aplane perpendicular to the axis X. The sensor area 621 may allow lightreceived from the outside of the electronic device (e.g., the electronicdevice 400 in FIG. 4) to pass therethrough to the sensor 601.

The gate electrode 726 may switch thesemiconductor device 725 so as to activate or deactivate thesemiconductor device 725. When activated by the gate electrode 726, thesemiconductor element 725 is able to move electrons from the sourceelectrode 724 to the drain electrode 727. The drain electrode 727 isable to emit electrons supplied from the source electrode 724. The anode729 may be connected to the drain electrode 727. The anode 729 may to beexposed to the surface of the first substrate 720 facing the secondsubstrate 730 at the side opposite the support member 610 with respectto the first substrate 720.

The pixel layer740 may include at least one pixel 749. The pixel 749 may be disposedbetween the anode 729 of the first substrate 720 and the cathode 739 ofthe second substrate 730. When electrons are supplied through the anode729 of the first substrate 720, the electrons of the anode 729 and theholes of the cathode 739 in the pixel 749 can be coupled. Thereby,excitation energy is generated at the pixel 749, and the pixel 749 isable to generate light based on the excitation energy. The pixel 749 isable to generate light of a predetermined color. To this end, the pixel749 may be formed of an organic luminous material.

The first drive wiring line 721 and the second drive wiring line 731 mayextend in the pixel area 623 of the display panel 620. The first drivewiring line 721 and the second drive wiring line 731 may extend in thepixel area 623 while surrounding the sensor area 621. The first drivewiring line 721 and the second drive wiring line 731 may extend bybypassing the sensor area 621 in the pixel area 623 so as not to extendin the sensor area 621. The first drive wiring line 721 and the seconddrive wiring line 731 may surround the sensor area 621 in the peripheralarea 625 of the pixel area 623. Through this, the first drive wiringline 721 and the second drive wiring line 731 can be densely wired inthe peripheral area 625. As an example, the pixels 749 may be arrangedin the pixel area 623 in the display panel 620. The pixels 749 may notbe disposed in the sensor area 621, but may be disposed in the pixelarea 623. As another example, the plurality of pixels 749 may beuniformly arranged in the sensor area 621 and the pixel area 623 in thedisplay panel 620.

For example, the size of thearea overlaying the sensor area 631 may correspond to at least one ofthe size of the opening in the support member 610 and the size of thesensor area 621 of the display panel 620. Here, at least one of the sizeof the area overlaying the sensor area 631, the size of the opening, andthe size of the sensor area 621 may be defined on a plane perpendicularto the axis X. The area overlaying the sensor area 631 may allow lightreceived from the outside of the electronic device (e.g., the electronicdevice 400 in FIG. 4) to pass therethrough to the sensor 601. As anexample, touch electrodes may be formed not in the area overlaying thesensor area 631 but in the area overlaying the pixel area 633 in thetouch panel 630. As another example, touch electrodes may be uniformlyformed in the area overlaying the sensor area 631 and the areaoverlaying the pixel area 633 in the touch panel 630.
